5th of JanuaryA day that ornithologists and birdwatchers cannot wait to celebrate. Join them. Even if you never considered bird-watching to be of any interest, today make it a point to be so. Go to a park, or just a walk and enjoy our feathered friends. Document the birds you have encountered on your venture. Photograph them, collect feathers lying on your path and write in your journal of their colours, behaviour, what fascinated you the most and whatever caught your eye.Draw a bird. Do some research.
Look around, close by might be a Bird Park, Birds of Pray Rehabilitation Center an Ostrich Farm-pay a visit, take your kids with you and make an outing of it.
If someone you know is a birdwatcher-buy them a 'Birds of the World', or of a country/region where he/she lives. Go out and buy an owl neckles, ring or PJs. Get that chicken defrosted and put it in the oven while calling friends or organizing family to come over for a feast. Watch a movie that has any kind of bird in its title. Wear a hair-piece feather for a day. Do a mapped show 'Educated Owl Sitting on a Mountine of Knowledge' for your little ones. Cut out bird silhouettes and stick them above the light switch. Adopt a parrot Have eggs for breakfast. Sit on a bench and feed pigeons or ducks in a near by lake. Free a
dove. Make a bird house with a feeding plate with your kids and hang it on tree in your garden or park. Get on the roof top of the highest building in your town and see the world beneath you from a bird's perspective. Go on a helicopter ride. Watch Rio.
And if one of the birdies poos on you, consider you self 'lucky'
Happy Birds Day.
